Dear Lord Jesus, I thank You for the gifts, graces and talents that You have given me and for the love and encouragement that I have received from my family, friends and my brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank You that I am Your child and that I am born again, in Christ - and a part of Your heavenly family.

In You grace I pray that You would take me and use me in Your service, and help me to find a vocation where I can be used in Your service - to glorify Your name.

Show me the way that You would have me to take and teach me the path along which You would lead me - and Lord, make me willing to follow You into the vocation of YOUR choice at the expense of my own … for in all things I want Your will to be done in my life….

Search my heart my Lord I pray, and if there are things in my life that need to be shed or discarded, bring them to my attention, for it is my deep desire to do only those things that are pleasing in Your sight.

May my life from this point forward be pleasing to You in thought, word and deed and may I die to self so that I may live to Christ, in Whose name I pray,
